Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981 Chapter 204

   Chapter 204 Future Big Data "Subscription"

   Hearing Yang Chen mentioning the three words Carrefour, Boss Lei's expression couldn't help changing. It's obviously impossible to say that no one noticed this company that suddenly appeared overnight.

  Especially a veteran family in Xiangjiang like Lei Juekun is very sensitive to all changes in Xiangjiang.

   Many powerful companies in later generations, why can't they always open the Xiangjiang market?

  The fundamental reason is that the local family in Xiangjiang is sensitive to external companies.

   After being suppressed by British capital for decades, local families in Hong Kong are usually very resistant to foreign investment entering the Hong Kong market.

  In the 1980s and 1990s, with the retreat of the British-funded consortium, a group of local families in Hong Kong began to dominate the economy of Hong Kong. The shadow of long-term suppression caused Hong Kong to be very united when it came to the outside world.

   Carrefour, a retail giant that suddenly appeared, has actually attracted the attention of many big families.

   It's just that Lei Juekun never thought that Yang Chen was involved here, and his eyes showed a faint complexion.

  Lei Juekun couldn't help but sighed: "It's really a hero out of a boy."

   Whether Carrefour belongs to Yang Chen or HSBC and Huo He, these are not very important to Lei Juekun.

   What he values ​​is the importance attached to him by the forces behind Yang Chen, being able to gather the forces of HSBC and Huo He, this alone is not something ordinary people can do.

   Looking at the other party's determination to win, Lei Juekun smiled bitterly in his heart, 'That nephew, it's really not that good to cry, it seems that I don't cut some meat today, I'm afraid it won't be easy to go out. '

  Lei Juekun said while eating, "Since you are interested in Kowloon Bus, nephew, how much do you plan to pay for my shares?"

   Yang Chen listened, slowly stretched out a finger, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lei, what do you think of this number?"

   "Hey, you have courage." Lei Juekun couldn't help but jump when he saw Yang Chen's bid.

   Although Yang Chen asked a high price, Boss Lei was also very moved, but looking at Yang Chen's young face was a little too much.

After thinking about it, Lei Juekun still shook his head and said, "According to the current value of the Kowloon Bus, you are giving a little too much. If Uncle Lei sells it to you at this price, once it spreads, others will think that I bully you and don't understand the market. ."

   Affected by the MTR, the passenger flow of Kowloon buses is now plummeting, and the loss of passenger flow is very serious.

   It is precisely because of this that Kowloon Bus has a downward trend despite the general rise in this general environment.

   Now, the total amount of Kowloon Bus is only worth three or four billion Hong Kong dollars. Yang Chen offered one hundred million to acquire 20% of the shares of Kowloon Bus in his hand.

   To be honest, if Kowloon Bus's stock is rising, it might not matter. It is a very common phenomenon to buy at a premium.

   But now the stock price of Kowloon Bus has been falling, Yang Chen not only did not suppress it, but bought it at a high price. If he knew the inside story, it would be fine, but those who didn't, would think that his boss Lei was deceiving a child who didn't understand the market.

   After all, for a company like Kowloon Bus that can see its value at a glance, your price is outrageous, and it is easy to be criticized.

   "Uncle Lei, the boy offered this price naturally because he felt it was worth it. After all, no one's money comes from the wind.

  The premise of this price is to ask Uncle Lei to help me acquire the shares of other shareholders of Kowloon Bus. "

  Compared to Sun Hung Kai, Yang Chen knew very well where his disadvantage was. If Lei Juekun hadn't stepped in to help, even if he fought a takeover battle with Sun Hung Kai, he wouldn't necessarily be able to win.

   Once there is Lei Juekun, it will be different. Most of the shareholders of Kowloon Bus are the original shareholders who founded Kowloon Bus together with the Lei family.

  If they want to sell their shares, the price is equal.

   Needless to say, those people will definitely sell to Lei Juekun, his own family.

   If you only need a slight premium, you can ask Boss Donglei to help. Yang Chen feels that the money is definitely worth it.

Hearing that Yang Chen bought his stocks at a high price for this reason, Lei Juekun lost a smart look, and nodded: "Yes, but you want me to come forward, what you said earlier about ATV and Princess Jin We cannot go back on the sharing of resources.”

   "Uncle Lei, rest assured, our cooperation is a win-win situation, and I have no reason to refuse."

Seeing Yang Chen say this, Boss Lei finally felt relieved, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "That's alright, after I go back, I'll go get together with some old friends, I'll definitely be there when the time comes. give you a satisfactory answer."

   Next, Yang Chen consciously accompanies Boss Lei to have a lunch with the guests and the host.

  For Kowloon Bus, with the promise of Boss Lei, we can now say that everything is worry-free.

   When I think of next year, the Kowloon Bus will connect with the MTR, and the urban express bus line will be opened to restore the previous passenger flow.

   In this way, this business will not lose money no matter how it is calculated.

   Compared with the subway, many places cannot be reached, so the bus has become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily life.

   What's more, the price of the subway is not cheap. Although the bus is slower than the subway, the price is relatively cheap.

  Under normal circumstances, as long as you are not in a hurry, most people's preferred means of transportation is to travel by bus.

   Now Kowloon Bus has not opened the subway docking service, everyone is looking down on it, and many people are selling their shares.

   Such a great opportunity, if Yang Chen missed it, he would really regret it and have nowhere to cry.

  Compared to Boss Lei, once Sun Hung Kai has mastered the control of Kowloon Bus, it will definitely not spit it out.

   As a real estate company, Kowloon Bus is still very useful to Sun Hung Kai. The other party develops real estate. If there is Kowloon Bus as a means of transportation, it only needs to open a few stops near the real estate, and the real estate price can be indirectly doubled.

   Compared with spending a little money, you can buy Kowloon Bus for your own use, and Sun Hung Kai will naturally not let it go.

   Even if Kowloon Bus does not make money, Sun Hung Kai can use it to make more money from other places.

   As for why Yang Chen had to acquire Kowloon Bus, in addition to increasing the passenger flow of his supermarket, he was also preparing for the era of big data in the future.

  In the era of big data, whoever controls the data flow controls everything.

  Look at the penguin empire in later generations, they have mastered big data with just two chat tools in people's daily life, and then they have become a world-class company.

  When others are racking their brains for data traffic, what they think about is how to use their own data traffic to make more money.

   In the future, credit card payment, mobile payment, and online payment, as long as he can first grasp people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it will be much easier to promote at that time.

  For example, the next one card is coming. If one card can be used for shopping and consumption, and it is convenient to travel by car, and there are discounts when using it, do you think everyone will use one card?

   Sometimes it is very troublesome to find money or something. If you can solve things with a card, I believe many people will not carry a stack of money with them every day.

   After all, it is never safe to go out with a stack of banknotes on you.

   "If you want to get rich, build roads first", I believe many people are familiar with it.

   From this sentence, it is not difficult to see how important transportation is to people and regions.

   Mastering Kowloon Bus is not only about making money or not, but more often, it can enhance a person's influence on a region.

   This is what Yang Chen values ​​most, food, clothing, housing and transportation, no matter who masters these, he can gain huge influence.

   Every move affects the development of a region. This is the real big guy, not a fat sheep with money but no influence at all.
